Frequently Asked Questions
What does an estate planning attorney in Aliso Viejo do?
An estate planning attorney helps you create legal documents to manage your assets and healthcare decisions. This includes wills, revocable living trusts, durable powers of attorney, and advance healthcare directives. They ensure your plan complies with California law and avoids probate when possible.
Do I need a trust in California?
A trust can help you avoid probate, which in California can be costly and time consuming. For estates over $184,500, probate is required unless assets pass through a trust or other means. Many Aliso Viejo residents use a revocable living trust to keep their estate private and avoid court involvement.
What is the California statutory fee for probate?
California probate fees are set by law and based on the gross value of the estate. For a $1 million estate, the statutory attorney fee is $23,000. These fees do not include court costs or other expenses. A trust can help your family avoid these fees entirely.
